Sandblast Rally bivouac area. Free camping available across from the service area.

The town ordinance preventing anyone from camping on the field that we use for service is still in effect, so no, there's no camping in the service area. There's nothing stopping you from using a motorhome as a service vehicle, but all the same stipulations as last year apply. :) My understanding is there's a septic tank installed somewhere on this lot, so no super large vehicles there. There is a spot about three tenths down the road, at the mayor's house, where you could put it. Let me know what your plan is.

Oy!!! guess it´s the vacant lot next to the hotel again this year,.....did they actually widen the gate into the service compound like they said they were going to? that was a fun proposition getting in there at dark thirty last year with 65´ of vehicle

A friend and I are riding at Brushy Mtn on Thursday Feb 28th if anyone wants to join us. Might be a good way to shake the bugs out and get your skills back after a long winter. We rode there last year and had a great time.

Right on, Doug! I got off the fence now also and paid my fee today. My wrist still hurts like a bastard at times, so between the two of us, maybe we'll make a full rider.

I ordered some Flexx bars and paid my entry at the same time, so it was an expensive day.

Back to the barn to try and get the bike ready. It hasn't been run, rolled, or even started since the Paris-Dacre in June.

Cool, stucks that the wrist still hurts but glad you can get back out and ride. I am in the same state with my bike, has not been ridden since the crash. I tried to start it the other day, cranks well but won't fire.

Ouch! Several of us wear compression suits but a plastic motocross style chest protector will also work. Key is you must have spine protection.

Sal: Sorry to hear about your "OFF". Hope you can make SB OK.

The Plastic MX style protectors are really only good for roost protection. There are some that say impact protection, but most only cover the sholders. Walt was wearing one when he got hit by the car at the big bike enduro, he broke a bunch of ribs, punctured a lung and broke his elbow.:eek1

I think if he had a pressure suit or body armor, his injurys would not have been as severe. He still would of been hurt, but not as bad.

Here's an example of good protection, there are many brands and price levels for this type of protection.

For body armor another trick us to combine a core saver with a moto jacket. I pull the back armor out of my Klim rally jacket and i wear a core save underneath. The core saver is like a vest that has some chest protection, an articulated back protector, mild shoulder padding built in.
